There will soon be a documentary about the Eiffel Tower

Pioneering engineer Gustave Eiffel's journey during the construction of the world's most famous monument will soon be revealed in the new documentary entitled "The Eiffel Tower: Building the Impossible", which was created as part of the Global Doc program, a merger of major international broadcasters. Caroline Behar, head of international co-productions and acquisitions at the Facts Unit, said the documentary has an original visual style that reflects Eiffel's work as truly modern. The documentary, set in 1889, focuses on Eiffel's rise at the heart of the industrial revolution and shows his technical and architectural adventure to build the tower.

It also shows how Eiffel built more than 300 metal works around the world, from viaducts, bridges, railway stations, factories, as well as the structure for the Statue of Liberty in the USA. The documentary program is broadcast internationally by France tv.

"Pascal Cuissot's documentary reveals the history of the Eiffel Tower, with a fascinating journey through the greatest works of Eiffel in the world," said Patrice Gellé, producer and general manager of Bleu Kobalt.
